They want to invent the AI Named For Untruth from the hit Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Do Not Invent the AI Named for Untruth”.
Isn’t that the hat from the picture that Yudkowsky showed off to prove he wasn’t a cult leader? Are they trying to beat the cult allegations by ha ha jokingly wearing the same silly clothes as their founder?
Please enjoy this comment saying “Nate Silver is a major proponent of AI assisted writing” like that’s a good thing, and the reply that argues against slop from the weird premise that enjoying one’s own writing process is bad.

I would read that essay.
Malkovich?
Malkovich Malkovich!

And you don’t get to complain about me spending my free time banning you. Bye!
The truly fundamental aspect of the entire philosophy, in practice, was telling people “Just fork it, then.”
“When help never arrived, he actively chose to make everyone else’s life worse.”

Damn. That sucks.
